It's been broken for years, as a scam home for the bankers.
Bubblegum and bandaids fell off the lug nuts....
Roll'd it till the wheels fell off....
Silver Bitchezzz!!
Fuck you Bernanke, Yellen, Dimon, Chilton, Masters, Soros, Gore, Kissenger, Pope...and fuck all your mommas too.
(i feel a bit better)

Wait... what are those last 3 things on the list? Sorry, I'm not a commodities guy, but I was doing fine until I got to the last 3.
I concur. WTF?
Sunlight is a commodity, bitchez.
The Frost Complex is a contract that is based on the likelihood of you getting laid before the expiration date.
Yea if your girlfriend goes cold you get frosted. Takes the bloom of the evening right pronto.
So how exactly do you hedge the gf? with another gf? 2?
The gf is the hedge for the wife.
That's called leverage. Be careful of a potential squeeze.
They are HAARP/CHEMTRAIL derivatives.
Exactly!
Fair enough... It could be confused with all your mommas...I mean all their mommas. :)
Nice nailgun.
List list..whos on the list.

The crown and church are responsible for alot of killing in the name of___________. Right?
RIPS
Henry Makow is so whacked out that even Jeff Rense won't link to his digital detritus.
Fuck the messenger.. the list looks about right to me.
RIPS
Looks like somebdy is going to get Corzined.
Frost Complex?
Hurricane Complex?
Snowfall Complex?
Better put your booties on. It's cold out there!
you guys are missing the best one. "Random length lumber".
"I need some lumber and I need it right now goddammit, I don't care what length!"
Random length lumber (Lu)lz
I just blew snot all over the keys, fonz!!!
I call that firewood.
Rough sawn dimensional lumber when sold by thousands of board feet(MBF) will contain random lengths.
Usually in a range. 8' or better, 10' or better, 12' and so on. But yeah, it's considered and called "random length."
hahahahaha
I'm not proud, if It's free I take it. You never know when you are going to need a piece of wood.
I thought that lumber is always a random length and rangebound. It increases in size, it grows, during certain times and seasons, with the appropriate environment.
Now some may choose to cut their lumber. Others may choose to have others' lumber cut without their consent.
But in my opinion they need appreciate the length of their lumber to be just the way that it is.
But I will take the Beaver any day if they don't gnaw at my lumber.
WTF
This god damn market breaks every fucking day it feels like.
Fix this shit already.
It is "fixed".
What you did there. It was clever. I liked it.
Just unplug it for 30 seconds and then plug it back in.
CTRL-ALT-DELETE and done!
cntrl-alt-del
Maybe they are still using XP.
here ya go

btw..."random length lumber"? Can you imagine people leaving with tiny pieces yelling how they got fucked over again? I can.
The contract was for 200 telephone poles, but they couldn't deliver, so I had to settle for 5,000,000,000 matchsticks.
Awesome!
Disclosure: long glue futures
Gold star for you today.
CME? The Crimean Madcap Escapade?
Goldman-Sachs Excess Returns? WTF is that?
What did someone transact something against the manipulation?
RIGGED.
Rigged!
WTF Goldman Sachs has two markets of it's own!!!
Should I be surprised. Fuckers.
How the world advances
Yup.
To where exactly we aren't quite sure yet....
Classic! Something wicked this way comes...
corzined again
CME Group How the world advances
Not very well apparently...
<<< "some elite shorts" got too much heat of a rising commodity market
<<< nothing to see here, move along
BSOD. Nice.
You guessed it ------ must be the ------------------- WEATHER!
I mow my lawn with a 42 year old Bolens Husky tractor (just because I can). It breaks a LOT less than these markets.
Like a boss!
Most likely related to the SSL vulnerability publicized earlier today.
Or CME is running Windows XP
With Google Chrome.
At least they didn't have to halt Frosted Mini-Wheat.
Awww, your posting click is faster than mine. Beat me to it!
Since this seems to be the "new normal", perhaps a "How to Trade a Broken Exchange" story is in order?
"Mini-Wheat (XW)"
Hey, were these the Frosted Mini-Wheats? If so, then XW and FZ should always be in correlation, right?
And I have clients wondering why I refuse to trade options and currencies. I have killer strategies but they don't work if the options markets break at crucial times. Then when they aren't broken you can't get a fricking bid. The HFT guys are NEVER there when you need them.
Fuck the petrodollar, we must save the palm-oil-dollar!
Where is Bart the Fart when you need him?
Where does Jim Rogers trade commodities?
How do I open an account in Singapore?
I guess I'll have to buy some real property in Singapore like Jim.
May I suggest 1-800-GEEK-SQUAD.
Thanks for the ticker symbols.
CTRL-ALT-DEL you lazy fuckers!!!!!
I'm going long on frost here. (FZ) Where is the "We are likely going to get more fucking snow here again before the temps go straight to 110 degrees F and tornadoes blow us to hell." hedge option?
Did they try unplugging, waiting a minute and plugging back in?
Without a doubt my favorite is "Random Length Lumber".
I've experienced that repeatedly over the years.
Physical gold, bitchez! No IT department required.
Of course its down. It all runs on a Dell with a Pentium 1 and Windows XP. They were afraid that XP support is done so they were transfering operations to a Timex Sinclair Kaypro I with tape drive.
Turn these machines off right now!!!
I thought these were a joke:
Can someone provide info or links about FZ, HF, and SB, please? Because when I Google them, nothing comes up except this blog post and ones like it. I can't find anyting on CME's website, either. Thanks.

I'm guessing this is less creepy than it appears.
One word: Heartbleed.

I spent the last couple of hours patching SSL on my servers.
The real issue is - who's been bleeding the certs and ACL credentials for the last month or so?
